I am following this, and i wonder if you could go to a console, and call up parted to create the partition. It would be : parted scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc (parted) mkpart ext2 primary 0 8 (parted) set 1 prep-boot on ( or set 1 prep on, depending on the parted version ). (parted) print and show me the line of the partition. If it works for parted but not partman, could you file a bug report against partman ? Friendly, Sven Luther
